Gday Danks , When white people got to tazmania there were only a few hundred blacks living there, These Tazmanian blacks are the original people that once populated the whole of the Australian mainland but had for some reson died out on the mainland. Observers of these Tazmanian blacks reported there numbers were allready diminishing and it was beleived there diet was of a very poor standard.
I notice the artical you mentioned that several thousand Tazmanian natives or 3% of the population in Tazmania still exist. May I say there are no Tazmanian natives in Tazmania this fact is recongnised by many people here. Many may claim to be a Tazmanian native but they may do it to get benifits from the government. I have seen the so called Tazmanian natives haveing a corrobery and they were all whiter than I am, and whiter than you too Danks.
Atrocities were committed on both sides both in Tazmania and on the mainland but that is criminal either way.
Captain Phillip our first governor of NSW when befriending the natives got two spear wounds in his shoulder but ordered his men not to fire on the natives.
